The purpose of this analysis is to assess the potential impact of the Celtic Interconnector on the transmission system when it is connected at different connection points and to do a relative comparison of these impacts. Due to the significant capacity of the interconnector at 700 megawatts (MW), it must connect to an existing substation on either the 220 kV or 400 kV network. Based on their geographic location along the south coast of Ireland and their connectivity within the transmission system, the two strongest potential connection points for the Celtic Interconnector are the substations at Knockraha in County Cork and Great Island in County Wexford. The analysis undertaken clearly indicates that the transmission system can accommodate the potential power flows from the Celtic Interconnector significantly better with the connection point at Knockraha rather than a connection point at Great Island. Connection at Great Island would likely require significant levels of upgrading of existing transmission system infrastructure and/or new infrastructure in comparison with the Knockraha option. Network Analysis – Celtic Interconnector Feasibility Study Page 1 1. Introduction EirGrid is undertaking investigations into the feasibility of constructing a high voltage direct current (HVDC) interconnector between Ireland and France, known as the Celtic interconnector. If the project proceeds, it would connect a substation in France with a substation in Ireland, using a subsea cable. The analysis detailed in this report was requested as part of these feasibility investigations. The purpose of this high level technical analysis is to assess the potential impact of the Celtic Interconnector on the transmission system when it is connected at different connection points and to do a relative comparison of these impacts. This analysis will form one part of the decision making process used to identify a connection point onto the existing transmission network for the Celtic Interconnector. 2. Identification of Feasible Connection Points Due to the significant capacity of the interconnector (700 MW) it must connect to an existing substation on either the 220 kV or 400 kV network. Due to the geographic location of France in relation to Ireland, a connection point in the south or south east of Ireland is the most suitable. The substations at Knockraha in County Cork and Great Island in County Wexford have been identified as the two strongest potential connections points for the Celtic Interconnector. These have been identified based on their location along the south coast of Ireland and their connectivity within the transmission system. These connection points are illustrated in Figure 1 which comprises a map of the transmission network. Knockraha 220 kV substation is located to the north east of Cork city. It is well connected to the rest of the 220 kV network via six 220 kV circuits and to the 110 kV network via six 110 kV circuits. It is close to a major hub of conventional generation totalling approximately 1,400 MW of generating capacity. It is also close to an area of high wind generation in the south west which will total approximately 1,900 MW once all contracted wind generation has connected. Great Island 220 kV substation is located in County Wexford. It is connected to the rest of the 220 kV network via three 220 kV circuits and to the 110 kV network via four 110 kV circuits. There is a 470 MW combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) generator connected to the substation. Connection of the Celtic Interconnector at other well connected 220kV or 400kV substations that are more northerly, e.g. the existing Tarbert, Moneypoint, Killonan, Dunstown or Carrickmines substations, would significantly increase the length and therefore the cost of the interconnector and would make the interconnector not economically viable.

  • Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    National Archives Church of Ireland Parish Registers SURROGATES This listing of Church of Ireland parochial records available in the National Archives is not a list of original parochial returns. Instead it is a list of transcripts, abstracts, and single returns. The Parish Searches consist of thirteen volumes of searches made in Church of Ireland parochial returns (generally baptisms, but sometimes also marriages). The searches were requested in order to ascertain whether the applicant to the Public Record Office of Ireland in the post-1908 period was entitled to an Old Age Pension based on evidence abstracted from the parochial returns then in existence in the Public Record Office of Ireland. Sometimes only one search – against a specific individual – has been recorded from a given parish. Multiple searches against various individuals in city parishes have been recorded in volume 13 and all thirteen volumes are now available for consultation on six microfilms, reference numbers: MFGS 55/1–5 and MFGS 56/1. Many of the surviving transcripts are for one individual only – for example, accessions 999/562 and 999/565 respectively, are certified copy entries in parish registers of baptisms ordered according to address, parish, diocese; or extracts from parish registers for baptismal searches. Many such extracts are for one individual in one parish only. Some of the extracts relate to a specific surname only – for example accession M 474 is a search against the surname ”Seymour” solely (with related names). Many of the transcripts relate to Church of Ireland parochial microfilms – a programme of microfilming which was carried out by the Public Record Office of Ireland in the 1950s.

  • Richard Newman Townsend [530]
    Dr Richard Newman Townsend [530] Cobh Pembroke College, Oxford Cobh Waterfront and St Colman’s Cathedral Extract from Samuel Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 COBH or COVE, commonly called the COVE of CORK, a sea-port, market, and post-town, partly in the parish of CLONMELL, but chiefly in that of TEMPLEROBIN, in the Great Island, barony of BARRYMORE, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER; containing 6996 inhabitants. By way of Passage, crossing the ferry, it is only 9 1/2 miles (E. S. E.) from Cork; but overland, by way of Foaty, it is 14 1/4 miles from that city, and 133 miles (S. W. by S.) from Dublin. It is situated on the north side of Cork harbour, in lat. 54° 51', and lon. 8° 18' 45". The progress of Cove has been very rapid. So recently as 1786 it was a small village, consisting of a few scattered houses inhabited by the tide-waiters and pilots of Cork, and some miserable cabins occupied by fishermen; at present it is a large and handsome town, comprising nine large and several smaller streets. The great increase of its population principally arose from its convenient situation for the shipping in Cork harbour, in which, during the French war, 600 sail of merchant vessels have been at anchor at one time, and 400 sail have left the harbour under convoy in one day. These great fleets always lay immediately in front of the present town, and many of them within half a cable's length of the shore. It has also been greatly benefited by the erection of Carlisle and Camden forts; Martello towers on Great Island, Haulbowline, and Ringaskiddy; and by the bomb-proof artillery barracks on Spike Island.

  • Port of Cork Company (POCC) Comments on the Draft National Planning Framework (NPF)
    Port of Cork Company (POCC) Comments on the Draft National Planning Framework (NPF) Introduction The Port Of Cork Company (POCC) welcome the opportunity to provide comments for consideration to the Draft National Planning Framework (NPF). The POCC is very supportive of the NPF initiative. POCC acknowledge that the Draft NPF is supportive of Port requirements and has considered many aspects of the POCC original submission. Nonetheless, minor amendments and / or additions to the Draft NPF would provide further clarity on policies and initiatives required to facilitate sustainable growth of critical strategic port related development and the potential of maritime economic and leisure activities. The Port of Cork is a key asset in facilitating national and regional growth and can positively contribute to the objectives identified in Cork 2050 and the NPF. POCC Strategic Plan has identified future port locations in Cork’s lower harbour, as follows: . Ringaskiddy . Marino Point . Cobh . Aghada / Whitegate Consent is in place for the redevelopment of Ringaskiddy to accommodate container activities, and in the longer-term Roll-on Roll-off freight trade. However, further investment in port facilities in the Cork Harbour and associated infrastructure is required to support the objectives of the Draft NPF for the sustainable growth of Cork and its region. There is also a need for further policy support to facilitate port related development; realise Ireland’s full maritime potential; and streamline maritime and port related development consent procedures. Submission Request - Overview POCC request that the draft NPF is amended to facilitate the full potential of Port Infrastructure and activities; support the upper harbour redevelopment lands in Cork; and facilitate Maritime Resources as key growth enablers for the Southern Region.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
